Are you a female who may have kids one day? And then stay away from toxic compounds that mess with your the reproductive system health which includes BPA, dioxin (mostly found in meat, dairy, and sea food, which means vegans are already up from the hook! ), phthalates (in many attractiveness products), PFCs (on nonstick pans), pesticides (conventional produce) and parabens (also within beauty products). Choose organic and natural whenever possible.
